Course length/total time

Hi,

We try to understand how the Articulate comes up with the approximate time of the lesson, definitely it is not only based on the total audio time, would you please explain the criteria used? 

We need to decide if we are able to use the approximate time provided by the Articulate for our lessons.

Thank you! 

Hi Crystal - thanks for submitting the feature request.  Just so I can confirm with someone on my team asking about this - as of now, if I want to know the approximate length for a specific set of slides or a scene, there is no way unless I just manually go to each slide and add up the timelines?  Or copy and paste those slides/scene into a new empty projeect and act as though I am publishing just those slides to see the project length?

Hi Mary,

Yup - it sounds like those are the two options to calculate a single scene or set of slides. Keep in mind you don't have to complete the publishing process, only open up that dialogue and look in the project info window to see the duration. 

This totally just made my day!

Hi Ashley - does the duration calculation include the duration of slide layers, or just the base layer of slides?

Thanks,

Hi! I'm not seeing how the total duration is calculated. In my screen shot, it shows blank. Please help! Thanks!

Very helpful! What a time saver.

Hello, does the duration estimate include the course simulations etc..?

Hi Katie,

I have a question. Does the duration calculates the timelines of layers as well or only base layer? Appreciate your reply. Thanks!
